Thanksgiving was all good... The turkey came out perfectly... It was pretty quiet that day... Eric came over that night... He ended up staying until sunday morning... So I was lazy all weekend... I didn't feel like cleaning anything... So on Sunday I spent it cleaning the downstairs...

But this weekend was really nice... Friday I went out and grabbed a few things from Hobby Lobby for decorating purposes... Pulled out the tree and decorated the house... Troy and Eric put up the outside lights... It looks really nice... We played texas hold um and some Risk... ended up watching Boogeyman... which isn't that bad of a movie...

Saturday was spent with Troy and Eric ripping out this shrub that was at the end of our driveway... that took them about 2 hours... So 4 man hours... I watched a marathon of 7th Heaven on ABC Family Channel...again played some risk... then after that we watched Pearl Harbor...

Sunday I woke up, Eric said good bye and he went home... and then I started to clean the house after I watched about 6 episodes of Full House on the ABC Family Channel... went to bed kinda early that night...

so that was how I spent my Thanksgiving weekend... just being lazy...

Came in on Monday exhausted... just from lack of sleep and all of that...

Tuesday went well... and today I have a meeting tonight... Going solo on this one without Dan... but that is okey because this board actually likes me better...

but anyways... not much else going on...

better run...

later days

I am a bit miffed right now... Today is Thanksgiving and when we went to pre heat the oven today to put the turkey in.... the stove decided it was going to take forever to heat up... plus the coils on the bottom were not getting red at all... It took it almost an hour to get to 200 degrees... It did this about 2 weeks ago and we told our landlord about it, they had the repair man come out the following day and it worked fine!!!!! So for these past couple of weeks it has been working fine but of course cause it is Thanksgiving IT DOESN'T WORK!!!! Luckily our friend wasn't cooking since she was going to her parents let us borrow her stove...

I wanted to cry... Nothing beats having the smell of the turkey roasting in the oven and making your house smell really good!!!

So if anyone can tell me what the heck is wrong with it let me know!!! My friend thinks it could be the heating element is going out or there is a short somewhere...

Anyways... so hopefully tomorrow they can come out and fix the problem... or get us a new stove...

I do hope everyone else is having a wonderful turkey day... I may not be able to cook one in my own stove but I know I will be eating tons of it when the hubby brings it home!!!

Take care all

Found out that my brother is in the hospital he got sick at the jail so they transferred him to MCO... My dad will call me later if he hears anything else...

He was supposed to have his hearing tomorrow... I really do hope they drop these charges...

Later Days

It's been awhile..

No other news on the brother... I just haven't had the time to call anyone on it...

This weekend was pretty quiet...Didn't do to much... Had our regular poker night on Friday... woke up Saturday morning went to Chips... the rest of the day was pretty much spent on my couch because my stomach was bothering me... but I feel better...

now it is monday... monday... I hate mondays


Later Days

So I was looking over my blog and I noticed that I have been on blogger now for 2 years but officially wasn't writing anything until May of 04... So happy starting of my blog to me... but not official until May of 06...

THAT SO DID NOT MAKE SENSE

Anyways... I kinda feel in a way that blogging is an addiction... I can't seem to stay away from it... It is like I need to post something every day or my day wouldn't be complete...

Plus it is just fun....

Troy comes home tomorrow... Yeah!!!

I am tired and I really should go shave my legs... not just because Troy is coming home , I really need to shave my legs....

Later Days

D = TOOL

Welcome to Wednesday but I am going to talk about yesterday...

Tuesday

It started out horrible... I didn't want to wake up... the boy really didn't want to wake up...

I got the boy to daycare... and on my way to work I get a phone call... It was about Bob... Well he was in the state mental hospital but because he was of "sound mind" on Monday they transfered him back to jail... NICE...

He did admit that he drank the mouthwash...

He will be going for a hearing by end of week beginning of next week... They are hoping to get the charges dropped since he was under the influence...

so that was just in the morning...

then I get some news from my husband about my father-in-law...

He has lymphoma...GREAT!!!! He is 82 years old and on Monday he will be going to the dr to discuss treatments options...

I haven't talked to my mother-in-law yet... but I think I will call my sis-in-law...

anyways... so that was my Tuesday

now it's wednesday...

and not much is going on

later days

Michelle (so I can sleep) brought up a good question about my bro... If he is found guilty of those 2 counts will he have to go back to jail... The answer to that...

I don't know... I would hope that they would see that he wasn't of sound mind...

I may have to question his case worker on this one...

Anyways

I really like the flexibility of my job... I like being able to go and please as I choose... I took today off for a variety of reasons... I rearranged Robbie's bedroom and it looks nice next I am off to clean up the downstairs... It really needs it...

Troy was just expressing via messenger how much he dispises New York... he hates the traffic, the smell and not too mention he had to spend $2.00 on a small coffee... Then he also has to pay for parking at his hotel and the parking at the college he is working at right now... I wouldn't mind visiting New York but I don't think I could live there...

Well I better be off... Lots of stuff to do and not much time to do it...

Later Days

It's a quiet but cold night here in Colorado... Troy is off in New York for the week... He remembered his phone but forgot his charger for it... I guess a trip to a Verizon store to pick up a new charger is something he will have to do tomorrow... I don't think his phone will hold a charge for 4 days... Oh well... Guess he just can't talk on it for very long...

Anyways...

some good news about my brother... he is out of jail.. They released him into the care of the Toledo Rescue Crisis Center but had to transfer him to the state hospital in Toledo because they couldn't handle him there... I did get to talk to him yesterday afternoon... He is really out of it... What I mean by that is well he wasn't talking "normal"... He did now who I was and he kept saying that he was coming to visit me and that I had to go and visit him... He knew who our dad was and when I mentioned my younger brother Paul... he kept saying that Paul was going to take him home in his truck and he was going to help Paul haul drywall away... (Paul drives a truck for a drywall company in Toledo)...

He is still being charged with the 2 misdeamnors but he is out of jail and that is all I wanted for him...

well I am tired and I need to go to bed

Later Days

Nothing new on my brother...

It's Friday... Gotta look for some good recipes to use for my pork chops tonight...

Any one have any good ideas???

later days

Update on my bro.

Turns out that he is still in jail and he has 2 misdeamnors on him:

One which is the serious one: KICKING AND HITTING A POLICE OFFICER
(which by the way Toledo's finest suck ass)

the other is for: Resisting arrest

He had an arraingment yesterday but the judge refused to let him go because of the assult on the police officer. The Zepf Community Mental Health Center which Bob goes to is doing there best on getting him out of jail... They want to get him transfered to the phsych ward at the hospital because even they know that he doesn't belong in jail.... It does look like that he did drink 1 1/2 bottles of mouthwash...

that is all the info I could get out of them... I did try to speak with his caseworker but she wasn't able to give me any info at all due to privacy issues...

It does look like Bob will be in jail over the weekend due to the holiday tomorrow

I hate the justice system... don't they realize that this is hurting him more and more...

Later days

I really hate waiting to hear news... I am inching to pick up my phone and call my dad... I am inching to freaking book myself a flight home so I can knock some sense into people... but it would be a waste of time... waste of money because even I know that I can't do anything about it...

very frustrated right now....


Later Days

My dad called me a few hours ago to tell me some news... But it wasn't good news... It was about my brother Bobby...

BOBBY

Bob is 8 years older than I am... My birthday is the day before his... He is a great brother and I love him to death... He has the greatest imagination... He writes his own comics and has so many ideas in his head that he beleives would make wonderful stories... But there is another side to Bobby that not many people know about... Bob has some mental issues that he has been dealing with for well forever... He has to take medications to maintain a normal life... If he goes off these meds or alters anything to them he turns "crazy"...

Which brings me to the phone call I received from my dad this evening... My brother is in jail... He is in jail for assulting 2 different people...

Bobby lives in a group home. In fact Bob has been in and out of group homes his entire life... He did live on his own for a little bit 2 different times but when he decided to take himself off his medications they had to put him in the group home...

But this time Bob was still taking his medication... they didn't know why for sure he all of a sudden turned... From what my dad told me he cut some phone lines in the house then assulted one of the workers in the home and when the cops were called he assulted one of the cops... They tasered him and then he was sent to jail...

Meanwhile at the group home the caretakers of the home went up to his room and among his belongings they found an empty bottle of mouthwash... They have a feeling that he drank the bottle of mouthwash... of course we all know that mouthwash contains ALCOHOL... BOBBY CAN'T HAVE ALCOHOL.... So they think with the combination of alcohol and his medications that is why he turned and became well crazy...

The caretakers of the home and his caseworker are working on getting him out of jail... He doesn't belong there... but because he assulted a police officer they arrested him...

I will find out tomorrow how things are going... It will anger me greatly if he has to stay in jail... But I really hope to freaking GOD that his caseworker can get him out... He really doesn't belong there... I know he assulted a police officer but because of his situation I really don't think he understands what he did...

I can only pray and hope that he will be okey

Later days

mmmmm chipolte is good...

Another quiet day here in the office... Going out to lunch with the hubby... I beleive that another guy who works with T will be coming along also...

later days

Woke up this morning with the worst sinus headache and my whole body is sore...

Still came into work because I have a few things to do this morning... Plus I have a meeting tonight that I think I can actually get out of... so I might just work until about 6:30ish...

Had a pleasant weekend with the hubby and the boy... Friday night Eric came over we played some Texas Holdum (speaking of Eric - nice guy, 24, lives in the mountain town of Jamestown, available so any woman out there in the Denver/Boulder area interested in meeting a nice guy who is just plain adorable let me know, I hear he likes older woman), played some pool, then I crashed around 1:00. Woke up around 7:00ish... Went to breakfast at Chips Cafe (which is a wonderful little breakfast/lunch nook down in Lafayette, CO) came home helped Eric find some car repair shops that were open on Saturday so he could get a new muffler on his truck, started to make my homemade chicken noodle soup, went to the grocery store to pick up the veggies for the soup, went to sleep for about 1/2 hour woke up finished up the soup... ate some then laid on the couch for a bit more... Ended up falling asleep about 7:00ish... woke up around 9:30ish went into bedroom and fell asleep until 7:00 yesterday morning...

Yesterday was quiet... Didn't do a whole lot... which is nice...Went to sleep way to late... woke up this morning feeling like crap...

AND I FORGOT TO BRUSH MY TEETH!!!!! I hate when I do that... Luckily one of the guys at work always has mouthwash here so that was a good...

I so hate feeling like this... IT FREAKING SUCKS

later days

Had a pretty good damn day at work... D was sick so no stupid bull shit from him... It was only T, S, J and I in today... C is moving this weekend so he took the day off to get more of his stuff packed... T and I got to take a trip to the wonderful Boulder County Dump today... Fun fun...

Had an interesting talk with J today about a few issues about D... Looks like J is finally going to talk to him about it...Don't know if it is going to work but only time will tell...

Well not much else... very tired...

Later days

So the boy had fun last night but ended up only lasting 45 minutes... We were about a block away from home when he told me that he wanted to go home... So of course we did... Didn't have that many people come up to our door the first hour... but when I got home with the boy it seemed like a shoeload of kids started showing up... Not many older ones like last year... I was really surprised that not many kids showed up and it ws beautiful last night... The past couple of halloweens have been crappy weather in fact last year it snowed....

But the boy had fun... that is all that matters

On another note... Got word back from the dr... yeah not good he was a bit irritated with me that I haven't been taking care of myself the past couple of months... My blood sugar levals were pretty high... so not good.... but I vowed to myself that I have to take care of myself now... and of course I will...

well better get back to work
